This front / front-left pre-catalytic converter drops in as a direct-fit replacement for applications including the 2007-2010 Ford Edge (V6-3.5L), 2009-2012 Ford Flex (V6-3.5L), 2010-2012 Ford Fusion (V6-3.5L), 2008-2010 Ford Taurus (V6-3.5L), 2008-2009 Ford Taurus X (V6-3.5L), 2009-2010 Lincoln MKS (V6-3.7L), 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX (V6-3.5L), 2007-2010 Lincoln MKZ (V6-3.5L), 2009-2013 Mazda 6 (V6-3.7L), 2007-2015 Mazda CX-9 (V6-3.5L, V6-3.7L) and 2008-2009 Mercury Sable (V6-3.5L) — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
- 409 stainless steel construction: 409 stainless steel shell and neck for longer life.
- Advanced catalyst: ceramic substrate with Aristo Clean by Design catalyst technology.
- Welded flange fit: 4-bolt welded inlet and 2-bolt welded outlet, plus one sensor port.
- What's included: one outlet gasket; mounting hardware is not included.
As a Federal/EPA-compliant unit, it houses a ceramic honeycomb substrate coated with catalyst to convert hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen in the exhaust stream into less-harmful gases. The 409 stainless steel shell and neck resist heat and corrosion, and the pre-installed welded flanges match the factory connections. It is not CARB-certified, so it is not legal for sale or use on vehicles registered in California or other states requiring CARB-compliant converters. Overall length is 10.5 inches. Country of origin: United States.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this converter fit my vehicle?
It is a direct-fit replacement for listed V6 applications such as the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2009-2012 Ford Flex, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2007-2015 Mazda CX-9. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section for your exact year, model and engine.
Is this converter legal in California?
No. It is a Federal/EPA converter and is not CARB-certified, so it is not legal for sale or use on vehicles registered in California or other states that require CARB-compliant converters.
Does it include mounting hardware and gaskets?
It comes with one outlet gasket. No mounting hardware or inlet gasket is included, so consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and any additional gaskets needed.
What is this converter made of?
It uses a ceramic substrate with Aristo Clean by Design catalyst technology inside a 409 stainless steel shell and neck for heat and corrosion resistance.
What are signs my catalytic converter may need replacing?
A failed emissions test, a check engine light for catalyst efficiency, a rattle from a broken internal substrate, or a sulfur odor can be signs. Diagnose the underlying cause before replacing the converter.
